About this listen

 Episode three, Living in a Rude World, offers practical strategies for preserving dignity amid constant incivility. Maya guides listeners through responding when targeted by rudeness—managing freeze, fight, or flight reactions, setting boundaries without escalation, and processing the emotional aftermath. The episode addresses the bystander's dilemma, explaining effective intervention techniques and how to create accountability at systems level. Maya provides frameworks for choosing battles wisely, building resilience without cynicism, and maintaining empathy while protecting yourself. The series concludes by emphasizing that cultural norms shift through accumulated small stands, that every interaction votes for the world we want, and that bad manners only win when good people give up on maintaining standards of basic human decency.
